First of all, this rejection letter does not reflect on the quality of your work. I realize that this seems a contradiction given that we are supposed to judge based on quality, but no... this rejection...it’s really more about us than you.

Your manuscript is a great guy, and it’s going to find that lucky literary journal someday. You just need to give it more time. I hope we can still be friends.

Any time you want to talk about your feelings, just give us a call.

Always here for you (even though we don’t want to be intimate with your manuscript),
